Resources and My Favorite Drawing Tools
Welcome to my curated list of drawing tools and materials I use in my Neuro Art practice. These are tried, tested, and loved in my own studio.
How to Use These Resources
These tools are the same ones I recommend to my students and use in my own practice. They can be used for the AM Method, NeuroGraphica, NeuroGraphic art and other line drawings practices. You don’t need everything — even a simple fineliner, coloured pencils and a sketchbook are enough to start.
I only recommend supplies I genuinely love and use myself. I often mention these products during my classes or live Q&As. Everything listed below is something I’ve personally bought, tested and liked. I’ll keep updating this list as I discover more great finds!
